Good job, this helped me alot. And your writing is not that bad.
ReplyDeleteGood Job Gielh! your scribe help me a lot and i like your video.
ReplyDeleteHi Gielh. Great scribe post! The images and explanations are well done, but I noticed on 7b, on the image you put "1792 000 have type 2 diabetes" but on the explanation you put "1.792 million", there shouldn't be a decimal point there. I suggest you add color to your fonts to make them stand out. The video is helpful. Here is a link you could add to your scribe post. : http://ca.ixl.com/math/grade-8/percents-of-numbers-word-problems

Hey Gielh. Good job on the scribe post. I noticed you did it the short way. Maybe, you should add the long way too. You also need to do what Hannah said about the 1.792 million thing. Otherwise, it's good.
